GIA Certified Diamonds Blog

If there is one thing that is worth to be my first blog post is buying loose diamonds.

People say that buying loose diamonds is the best way to get the most value for your money. Is it? These diamonds are simply diamonds that have not been put in a setting. Buying loose diamonds is an art, and can’t be covered in just one post, however I can try…

Even though you do save money by buying loose diamonds rather than buying them on a ring or a necklace this is not always the case. You will usually be saved the mark up that is put on most diamond rings. The thing is when you buy them loose there is much higher chance that you make mistakes.

The thing about it is buying the diamonds loose is the best recommended way if you want to design your own ring from scratch. This way you do not spend too much money on a stone that will be cut down drastically in any way. The most popular reason for getting loose gems is when brides want to pick their rock before it’s being placed on a ring so that they can see how much it is worth…

When buying loose diamonds you need to make sure that your jeweler hands them to you in some kind of presentation box. At the very least the stone should be set in some kind of temporary setting. This is to prevent it from being stolen or traded for an inferior stone at the last minute. The stone should also come with a genuine GIC certificate that says the stone is worth what the jeweler says it is. This way the stone will only appreciate in value.

I will write more about this issue as soon as possible, come visit us soon again!
